As the year winds to a close marketing departments across the country will be reviewing their work and analysing the effectiveness of their campaigns. Here at 4pm have compiled a list of “New Years Resolutions” that every marketer should make as he/she enters 2013.

1. Let Go - There is a creative bone inside all of us, however, too many cooks spoil the broth. It is hugely beneficial for marketers to take a step back and focus on the area in which they excel. Be honest about your capabilities and learn to take control.

2. Build a portfolio - It is important to be able to refer back to previous successful campaigns. The portfolio should be a collection of projects focused on results.

3. Bring forward solutions, not problems - The ability to identify a problem is a very worthwhile skill to have. However an even better skill is that of someone who can not only identify a problem but who has the solution to solve such problems.

4. Take risks and learn from your mistakes - the best minds have all had one thing in common, failure. Don’t be afraid to try something.

5.Participate in the industry, but be humble - participating in an industry enables you to grow and become accustomed to new ideas and practices. It is important to note however, not to take credit for ideas that are not yours. Be original, be creative and be inventive. Always remember that you never stop learning.

Here at 4pm hope that these guidelines aid in your company’s/ brands development.
